T+L Reports: Uniformly Chic

From October 2006

By Clara Ogden

Gone are the days of look-alike bellhops and stodgy concierges, now that fashion designers are dressing hotel staff. Michael Kors pairs teensy polos with pin-striped suits for W Hotels; Cynthia Rowley's fedoras and cords for Hotel Monaco are a seventies throwback; and Tibi designer Amy Smilovic styles valets in retro seersucker and waitresses in yellow frocks for the Cloister Hotel in Sea Island, Georgia.

The information in this story was accurate at the time it was published in October 2006 but we suggest you confirm all details and prices directly with any establishments mentioned. The quality of offerings and services tends to change over time.
